Are you tired of feeling afraid in a world infested by criminals? The Zombie Apocalypse may not be here yet, but the close runner up to it surely is – you cannot walk the streets anymore without being worried about being violently attacked, in 99 percent of the world!And whether you like watching the latest UFC or not, you may not want to spend several thousand hours rolling around with sweaty men wearing smelly “kimono’s”. If you want to roll around with someone sweaty, it would rather be with a naked member of the opposite sex…Aside from which, Rickson Gracie apparently has five herniated discs and Keenan Cornelius said in a recent interview that ten years of BJJ has messed up his hands so much that he cannot close them into fists anymore!Aside from which, what really scares you are scumbags with weapons and scumbags with equally scumbaggy friends ganging up on you…and Jits doesn’t really solve those problems.What you need is an equalizer! A stick, collapsible steel baton or a knife…And with that you need the know-how of how to unleash havoc with such tools!Well, you are in luck…a Group Buy is being organized for what may well be the most systematic Filipino weapon arts course ever, by the renowned expert and author, Mark Wiley.You can find the GB here: get you all hot and bothered and wanting to sign up, we are uploading some books written by him, as well as a few others by experts on the Filipino martial arts.This one, Lameco Eskrima: The Legacy of Edgar G.
